    My brothers golf, but I have a great drive, a fair putt, but a great elbow movement at the 19th.
    All I saw was the large coffee mugs. And Idaho has pretty good fishing right about now.

    Update for other parents/grandparents. Boys do not have dolls, they have action figures.

    When I was a boy on the farm, we use to cut small trees and saplings for the cows to eat leaves from when the summer was extremely dry.

    I was walking out around the mountain past were the spring was one day. In that area it was shaded and little damp at times.

    The Mayapples had taken over and it was like walking through muddy water not knowing what you were going to set your foot on next. I happen to step on a small tree that had been cut the year before, and felt it roll slightly under my foot.

    Next thing I know I was bouncing over Mayapples like a kangaroo with a wick in his as s…..

    Turns out the hornets had built a nest on the other end of that tree I stepped on! And boy were they pissed about the earthquake movements…!!!

    Yellow jackets are also vicious sob’s. I was clearing my property and dug up a nest. They started lighting my ### up. I dove off the dozer before it stopped moving. They chased me all the way back to the house. My head swole up and they probably got me 15 times. The worst one was that little piece of meat between your nostrils.


    Those ######## are from the devil.

    Lol, yes to be so dang little they can sure bring on the pain!!

    Wife was mowing a couple years ago close to the creek where a big sycamore is growing. I seen her swatting around on the mower and thought she was listening to music although that would be unusual for her.

    Turns out she scalped a Yellowjacket nest at the base of the tree.

    Later the next night I went out with some gasoline to rid us of the problem….. I found the nest dug out and the comb laying up on the ground lol.

    Polecat had done took care of the problem…..

    I ripped up a nest under a big stump a year or so back and didn't see them until they were right beside me swarming their now exposed nest. Left door was open and the right one is missing a handle that I didn't deem as a need to fix on my dozer, so I was a captive prisoner for them. Backing up and trying to get the stump free of the blade all happened in extreme slow motion, while their stingers were fully functioning in overdrive lol. I couldn't bail and run as I was teetering on the edge. One or two stings on a hand or arm isn't too bad, but once they really find your soul, it makes for a miserable day.
